See the rednecks had a day out in Washington today

The video I saw did show all of that. And my main point of mentioning it wasn’t to compare it to the protests going on in Washington, but to say how the media won’t show you some of the opposite instances, and that from what I’ve read and seen the arrests made in DC were due to left wing violence. That might have changed since.

The fact you have an issue at all around my posts is worrying to me. Why? You have an issue with someone showing balance or a different perspective to what you believe in? There’s no dishonesty. I’ve said before I would have probably voted Republican if I lived in the US and I’ve listed reasons why. I’ve also never defended Trump and called things as they are - calling him and his team emotionally unhinged. I’ve also got a more real life view/experience of the US than most on here so I’m comfortable challenging extreme opinions that cast such a wide net over a country of such vast scale and size.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the inability to be able to have a grown up discussion without someone having an ‘issue’ is one of the most frustrating things

 

You still don’t appear to be able to let go of your anger. It’s really interesting. I’m not sure I fully understand your ‘issue’ because you’re certainly not referencing me in your words.

I consider myself impartial because I’ll call both sides out and judge things individually. That is what impartial means to me. You’re trying to pour scorn on that because it’s a different view to yours. If I was behaving exactly the same, but advocating a lean towards your view, that issue you have wouldn’t be there.

Emotionally unhinged was used as an example because it was recently said by me. There’s loads more examples but I’m not going to search them out. You won’t find me defending Trump on any of the things you just listed, but I will call out people who make wild claims on the US electorate, without any knowledge of it other than what they see on their one media source, and also contribute a differing of opinion based on evidence, facts, etc. because there are people on here who are capable of that grown up discussion. If I don’t have a different opinion then I likely won’t comment.

The attempts to point score against me need to stop to be honest. As do the claims that I’m being dishonest. I’ve answered every question you’ve ever thrown at me haven’t I?

 

I’m sure that’s how most of us perceive it - more guns equals more risk.

But I don’t think it’s a label that we should use against one party. Republican states are more ‘American’ and therefore more pro gun and 2A, but I don’t think it equates to more gun crime from that party, although I’m sure someone will throw up a stat that contradicts that.

 

Intelligent use of language and aggression there. Completely uncalled for and not needed. Will remember that.

I’m against anyone who causes violence and distress for people. I assume you are too, so maybe your vitriol should be directed at those using ANTIFA in a negative way and not the way it’s intended or in your description? Or are you saying that it’s fine storming restaurants?

 

Misjudged me on what though? I’m still unsure what I’m being accused of. I have no desire to support violence, disruption, racism, misogyny, etc. That’s not me at all.

But at the same time I understand why people would be against defunding the police, against the removal of fracking, against a national lockdown, increase in minimum wage, the early releases from prison, the blanket issuance of Visas, etc.

All I’ve ever tried to say is that it isn’t as cut and dry, or simplistic, as some people like to suggest.

 

You literally replied to me, quoted me, and worded it to look like a direct response?

Apologies for reading that wrong mate
